lunch.
General Manager Robert John Lohrmann hosted the Aug. 9 party with
residents of the Banglamung Home for the Elderly and kids from the
Father Ray Children’s Village.
Children put on a dance performance for the seniors while the hotel
handed out balloons to the kids, who joined together to sing “Value of

between mothers and children is celebrated,” Lohrmann said. “This year,
the hotel wanted to bring happiness to both children and seniors.”

Centara’s annual celebration teaches children gratitude and helps them
to give happiness and encouragement to others.
